Step 1：通读全文，掌握主旨大意。
本文讲述的是Johnson先生和家人住在树林中，他有一个看着几乎荒芜的农场，幸好他有一头奶牛。可是有一天牛死了，奶牛的死会给一家带来什么变化呢？

17．Luckily。位于句首的空格用逗号隔开，可知考查副词修饰整个句子。
18．for。从整句话分析，此处考查介词且与exchange构成固定搭配。
19．was_left。连词后面没有谓语，故考查谓语，注意考虑时态语态和主谓一致。
20．when。在两个句子中间的空格应考查连词用法，此处为固定句式。
While making great efforts to run away, she __21__ (fall) over the hill and died. Then the Johnsons had to make a living __22__ the cow.
